The goal of this work was to quantify the effects of this ban on indoor air quality (IAQ) in Portuguese restaurants. Ten restaurants were investigated before and after the ban and the following indoor parameters measured: respirable suspended particulate matter (RSP), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), benzene (C<jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub>H<jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub>), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), temperature and relative humidity. Results show a statistically significant decrease in RSP and CO concentrations after the ban, as well as for TVOC and benzene concentrations. Additionally, the monitored CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> concentrations widely exceeded 1800\u2009mg\u010bm<jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup> (reference for acceptable ventilation rates), suggesting inefficient ventilation of the indoor spaces. This paper provides the first comparison of IAQ in Portugal before and after the introduction of smoke-free law and these results confirm the positive impact of the law in the indoor air that became smoke-free after the legislation. This information should be provided to decision makers as it has significant health implications. This law thus appear to achieve the aim of protecting people from exposure to unwanted pollutants resulting from poor IAQ. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1420326x11409459","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,27]],"date-time":"2011-07-27T00:36:27Z","timestamp":1311726987000},"page":"323-331","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluation of the Indoor Air Quality in Restaurants Before and After a Smoking Ban in Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Joana","family":"Madureira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Department, National Institute of Health, Rua Alexandre Herculano 321, 4200-055 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Department, National Institute of Health, Rua Alexandre Herculano 321, 4200-055 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Helder","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Department, National Institute of Health, Rua Alexandre Herculano 321, 4200-055 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Vila\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Department, National Institute of Health, Rua Alexandre Herculano 321, 4200-055 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria Paula","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Department, National Institute of Health, Rua Alexandre Herculano 321, 4200-055 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Olga","family":"Mayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Department, National Institute of Health, Rua Alexandre Herculano 321, 4200-055 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Paulo","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Department, National Institute of Health, Rua Alexandre Herculano 321, 4200-055 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.jes.7500590"},{"key":"bibr2-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.2004.008581"},{"key":"bibr3-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09603120310001633903"},{"key":"bibr4-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.10207"},{"key":"bibr5-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.12.1.13"},{"key":"bibr6-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.12.3.333"},{"key":"bibr7-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.11.2.125"},{"key":"bibr8-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1420326X0201100402"},{"key":"bibr9-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1420326X0201100304"},{"key":"bibr10-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.jea.7500069"},{"key":"bibr11-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1289\/ehp.99107s2341"},{"key":"bibr12-1420326X11409459","first-page":"15","volume":"5","author":"Mulcahy M","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Indoor Air"},{"key":"bibr13-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)60691-6"},{"key":"bibr14-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/annonc\/mdj070"},{"key":"bibr15-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1420326X05054069"},{"key":"bibr16-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.jom.0000141644.69355.52"},{"key":"bibr17-1420326X11409459","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Repace JL: An Air Quality Survey of Respirable Particles and Particulate Carcinogens in Delaware Hospitality Venues Before and After a Smoking Ban.
